The winner of the African Jollof Rice Challenge will go home with a $5000 prize, the organizers have announced. According to the executive Producer of Brand Television Network,
(Btv), Felix King, the argument on which country has the best Jollof
rice informed the contest.

This debate sprang up from a statement by Lai Muhammed, Nigeria’s Minister of Information who said, “Senegalese
Jollof Rice is the best and a counter claim by Acting President Yemi
Osinbajo that, “We all know that Nigerian Jollof Rice is the best
anywhere. We beat the Ghanaians and Senegalese hands down.”

King said: “There is no official position yet on which country
has the best Jollof rice in Africa, hence,theBtv’s desire to unravel the
mystery through this contest.

‘’None of the
perspectives has proved convincing, despite Nigeria’s strong claims to
the African cuisine. The different viewpoints on the streets have only
generated more controversies and continuous placement of different
points to back up individual claims.’’
